It's no longer confined to a single company or product; it has become a shared battlefield for the entire Chinese internet industry. Native HarmonyOS is no longer just Huawei's dream; it's evolving into a shared mission for the entire Chinese internet industry.

Industry giants are not only actively participating in ecosystem co-creation but also personally encouraging users to upgrade to native HarmonyOS. The enthusiastic response from countless users reflects a mutual commitment: every upgrade and every piece of feedback helps drive rapid iteration and improvement of native HarmonyOS, simultaneously contributing to ecosystem development. The growth of the ecosystem and the ultimate enhancement of user experience will benefit every participant, creating a virtuous cycle that propels this transformation forward.

In the global operating system market, long dominated by Western tech giants, the rise of native HarmonyOS introduces a "disruptor" element, offering Chinese companies more possibilities in their digital transformations.

The Strongest Mate, Meets the Best Mate

At the Mate brand launch event on November 26th, Huawei not only unveiled the highly anticipated Mate70 series but also placed HarmonyOS NEXT center stage. As a new operating system designed for the interconnected world, HarmonyOS NEXT brings multifaceted innovative experiences to this flagship model, making it truly the "strongest Mate ever."

Based on the native fluidity of HarmonyOS NEXT, the Huawei Mate70 series achieves deep hardware-software integration. Through intelligent scheduling of underlying performance resources, overall performance has improved by 40%, and battery life by 24%. The native intelligence and native connectivity of HarmonyOS NEXT also bring a new generation of HarmonyOS AI to the Huawei Mate70 series, including features such as AI motion tracking, AI air transfer, and AI message companion. Furthermore, upgrading to HarmonyOS NEXT delivers a refined and secure full-scenario experience.

Beyond the Huawei Mate70 series and MateX6, users of the Mate60 series, MateX5, P50 Pro and other models can also experience the public beta version of HarmonyOS NEXT. Huawei users who upgrade to HarmonyOS NEXT not only gain a smoother, safer, and more intelligent operating system experience, but also enjoy "HarmonyOS Privileges" valued at 900 yuan.

To reward pioneering HarmonyOS ecosystem users and attract more users to join the HarmonyOS NEXT public beta, Huawei, in collaboration with its partners, launched the "HarmonyOS Privileges" Pioneer Program. Users who participate in the native HarmonyOS upgrade before December 31, 2024, can claim free memberships and promotional benefits for Huawei Video, Reading, Music, Themes, Cloud Space, Tianji Tong, Wallet, and applications such as iQiyi, Bilibili, Mango TV, WPS Office, Himalaya, and Youku, as well as a 300 yuan voucher for value-added services (to be launched gradually) in the "My Huawei" app. Whether new users of the Mate70 series or veteran users participating in the public beta, everyone can feel Huawei's commitment to the native HarmonyOS ecosystem through the "HarmonyOS Privileges" program.

HarmonyOS NEXT is clearly more than just a simple system upgrade. The appeal of the Mate series flagship, combined with the incentive of "HarmonyOS Privileges," will undoubtedly attract more users to the native HarmonyOS ecosystem. Allowing consumers to truly experience the advantages of native HarmonyOS in terms of smoothness and multi-device collaboration will gradually transform HarmonyOS's technological advantages and ecosystem accumulation into user trust in the HarmonyOS ecosystem. From this perspective, while native HarmonyOS has created the "strongest Mate ever," the "best Mate ever"the vast community of friends within the HarmonyOS ecosystemis also creating native HarmonyOS. This is not just the success of the Huawei Mate70 series, but the collective effort of countless HarmonyOS ecosystem partners, from Gaode Map, Alipay, and JD.com to WeChat, QQ, and Douyin, all contributing to the vibrant HarmonyOS ecosystem.

The Acceleration Formula for the HarmonyOS Ecosystem

If the HarmonyOS ecosystem is a garden, its prosperity doesn't rely solely on the independent growth of one or two plants. As an operating system built on the core concept of open co-creation, the construction of the HarmonyOS ecosystem relies on an unprecedentedly large "circle of friends."

According to official Huawei data, as of October 22, 2024, the HarmonyOS ecosystem boasts over 15,000 native applications and atomic services, covering 18 vertical fields of daily life, such as maps, payments, shopping, social networking, short videos, transportation, and finance, essentially meeting most of users' daily needs. From the rapid growth of native HarmonyOS applications and atomic services to the deep involvement of cross-sector partners, we see HarmonyOS expanding into all aspects of users' lives at a visible pace.

This growth rate is inseparable from the optimism and support countless Chinese companies, including JD.com, WPS, and DingTalk, have shown towards the HarmonyOS ecosystem. These partners and developers form the cornerstone of the HarmonyOS ecosystem, further proving that HarmonyOS is not exclusive to Huawei but a shared ecosystem for different industries and companies across China.

However, ecosystem building is not an overnight process. HarmonyOS is still a growing organism. At the current stage, users may encounter issues such as application incompatibility, incomplete functionality, or missing features in specific scenarios. These problems are difficult to completely avoid, but every piece of feedback from HarmonyOS NEXT users drives optimization and iteration.

As Huawei's rotating chairman, Xu Zhijun, stated at the first HarmonyOS Ecosystem Conference: "Operating systems and ecosystems are used. The more people use them, the faster they mature. Only when more and more consumers accept and use HarmonyOS can the system and application experience be rapidly iterated and improved, and the HarmonyOS ecosystem can enter a positive cycle."

This positive cycle not only enables rapid iteration and improvement of the native HarmonyOS experience but also establishes a unique user co-creation model through consumer participation: users are not just experience testers, but also crucial forces driving ecosystem growth. When more consumers accept and actively embrace the HarmonyOS ecosystem, it also encourages more ecosystem partners and developers to accelerate development and tap into user needs.

Especially in the long-tail application and government and enterprise internal office scenarios, the diversity of consumer needs will drive more developers to adapt to the HarmonyOS system, such as developing niche but essential industry tools and internal process management systems. This requires more HarmonyOS developers and ecosystem partners to join and "deeply promote the native HarmonyOS to applications in various 'capillary' fields, and have more applications develop HarmonyOS versions," Xu Zhijun urged. "Partners who have applications but haven't yet developed HarmonyOS versions of their apps are expected to quickly develop and upload HarmonyOS-compatible versions."

Incentivizing and attracting users not only accelerates the iteration and improvement of the native HarmonyOS system experience but also drives developers to transform the HarmonyOS ecosystem. The virtuous cycle of "usersdevelopersecosystem" is the acceleration formula for the HarmonyOS ecosystem.

Becoming a HarmonyOS NEXT User, Embracing a "New Life"

The rise of the HarmonyOS ecosystem is becoming a shared transformation for Chinese companies. From its initial technological prototype to today's ecosystem covering over 15,000 native applications and atomic services, HarmonyOS has achieved a transformation from "making the impossible possible." Behind this transformation lies not only Huawei's technological strength but also the collective efforts of partners, developers, and users.

However, revolution is not without its challenges. The rapid growth of the HarmonyOS ecosystem faces challenges such as insufficient applications and imperfect experiences. Unlike mature ecosystems that can rely on inertia, HarmonyOS requires a determination to break the boundaries of traditional operating systems, along with the tolerance, recognition, and support of more people.

At the Mate brand launch event, Huawei's executive director, Yu Chengdong, publicly announced that all new Huawei smartphones and tablets launched next year will be equipped with HarmonyOS NEXT (native Harmony
